Dear All

Invitation: Wales in Edinburgh Training Day – 3 July

Wales Millennium Centre in partnership with Wales Arts International, the British Council and Arts Council of Wales are delighted to be hosting an informal training session for Welsh theatre companies on the joys and pitfalls of taking work to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and touring work internationally.

The afternoon will consist of speakers from a range of theatre companies, who will offer advice and personal experience on both the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and international touring on different scales. These will be interactive sessions, so there will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions and share experiences.
